ARMED STAND-OFF RESOLVED PEACEFULLY
Lane Co. Sheriff's Office At approximately 10:54am, 31 year old Austin Kane Waszkiewicz, surrendered to deputies after six hours of negotiation. Waszkiewicz is reported to have struck a family member in the head with a firearm in Coburg just prior to the stand-off. Shortly after the assault authorities were able to make phone contact with Waszkiewicz and determine his location. Waszkiewicz was observed with a blue Chevrolet pickup stopped in a gravel pull-out at the intersection of Diamond Hill Rd. and Powerline Rd. in Harrisburg, armed with a firearm. Waszkiewicz refused to surrender and made statements that he intended to provoke deputies into an armed confrontation. Utilizing armored rescue vehicles acquired at no cost from the Federal 1033 program, deputies were able to safely contain the scene and keep Waszkiewicz from harming anyone else. The use of these armored rescue vehicles allowed deputies much needed time to negotiate with Waszkiewicz and de-escalate the situation
